G40 2e Entek (axis) vs Captain Walker (allies) no tech, no bid

i could have taken Germany last turn. Your sub doesn’t block other ships.
The US would have taken Denmark and then the UK moves into unoccupied Germany. I didn’t see that Germany was open until after I did the UK move. But that is something to watch for in the future.
We can keep playing this game or start another…it doesn’t matter to me. -

Let’s start another. Want to switch sides or keep them the same?

Are you familiar with the bid process for playing?
If not we can do that and you’ll learn how that works on the forums.
Typically when someone plays the allies they’ll get a bid…which more or less means they get a starting bonus. -

Usually one player starts bidding for allies for example they’ll say that they’ll play the allies for ten. Which means they’ll get 10 pu’s in units or money to start…if the other player thinks that’s too high then they’ll bid lower…like nine.
I’ll give you a bid of eight if you want to play allies. That will give you an additional destroyer or an art and mech.etc.
What would you like to have? Keep in mind that what you get in your bid is something you need for first round action…something that you think will give you an edge in the beginning of the game. -

For example, say the bid was 7 I could add an Infantry to somewhere in china and a artillery somewhere for the UK? Or do I have that incorrectly?

That is correct. But it’s really best to get something that will benefit you in the first round. When I get a bid of eight I’ll usually put another destroyer with the one in canada…if I get a six then I’ll put a UK sub in 98 so I can use it to attack the Italian fleet. Think of it as something that you can use offensively on your first turn…some guys do use their bid for defense, but I feel it’s best to use it for first round offense.

That makes sense. The original version of Europe had something similar. The Allies got 12 IPC’s to share and Germany got either 10 or 12 I forget. The allied stuff usually went to the Soviets to booster there Front lines, but sometimes an extra fighter got added to Malta to help out in the Med!.
I’ll bid 7!

You can have allies for eight.
Let me know what you want and I’ll set up another game. -
I think I’ll go with you’re advice and add a DD to the SZ off of Canada that has the Transport and DD already. I think it’s 105 or 106.
I was tempted to add it to to 99 and have it help against Italy.

ok. I’ll get a new game started for us.
